160mph now. Showed a pic of I-10 at the LA/TX Border and it was bumper to bumper crawling along. Rain in New Orleans now. Edge just hitting Baton Rouge and Gulfport MS right on the gulf. Next update they expect cat 5. Not as large phsyically as Katrina was is one plus.

Storm picking up rotation speed and pressure dropping pretty fast now.

Bourbon street on a Saturday night.

1008 mb "extrapolated" at sea level now. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/recon/

Coon Ass engineering. Breaux Bridge obviously near the spillway.

Turn is going to put New Orleans and Baton Rouge on the bad side. A lot of New Orleans is going to come down to the levees and the new storm surge wall go. Baton Rouge is already heavily sogged down. First half of the year they got 48" of rain when the entire year they average 60". Fully expect...

Where it's headed is the swampiest of areas except right for the southwest portion of the state where there is like 250 people in an entire parish, just duck hunting. If you look at an aerial photo/sat photo there it's all canals put through the swamp from the oil industry over decades. Still...

They are accurate a day before hand. If you wait till a day before very very hard to leave due to a couple million people trying to get gas and travel on the interstate to 300 or more miles away to find a place to stay. During Katrina people went to Memphis, Houston, and San Antonio and could...

Gas stations starting to close from being out of gas. Not easy moving a couple million people overnight 300+ miles. It went from cat 1 which nobody leaves for to cat 4 from the morning to afternoon.

Gets moving. Also as gets pointed out in this thread often. A number of people will stay because they figure by end of day it will change direction 10 times in the predictions and not hit anywhere near them or not near as strong. People have seen it often in their life and just shrug. Lower MS...

A LOT of people as mentioned that will never work. The largest employer in the state of LA now is the university medical center. Which is the new name for Charity hospital in New Orleans. D governor in LA much like during Katrina. There's a reason I haven't lived in LA since I left high school...

As stated it's built there for a reason, unless you manage to move the Gulf and all the Oil infrastructure of south LA good luck. Now living there and building casinos and shit, no idea they can be built anywhere. The french quarter can be built in any rat infested area. The money maker there is...

It went over Cuba, didn't do much to the size.

It wasn't built like that to begin with. The city is sinking the more water the corps pumps out the lower the city gets. Like I said 100 years ago New Orleans was a "town" not a city built for river traffic. There's a reason the low parts are the ghetto of the ghetto. Anyone that can leave did...

Prediction now 4 and 2 by the time it hits Baton Rouge which is where they predict it be now. By noon probably Lake Charles and by 3pm the prediction will be Pensacola if it goes as normal predictions. 100 miles northeast of Baton Rouge power already been off and on twice today. Winds not...

I haven't looked in a while, but 5ish hours ago they were shifting the prediction to the west more toward Lake Charles which got hit hard last year, then move up into East, TX. It's been pretty dry here the last few days. Before two weeks ago it rained everyday. Baton Rouge set a record with 48"...

Prediction down to Cat 3. People always ask why people live down there. I wouldn't. Especially for retail crap that you could work any number of other places. Pre Oil Boom and cars in the US New Orleans was a pretty small/sleepy town. New Orleans is the gateway to the gulf and oil. The largest...

Here's the great wall project they built, found it. It's a big, near project. If it works.

The Corp of engineers spent billions making a new steel sea wall sunk interlocked together sunk down like 80 feet. 8 miles long, 150' deep and largest surge barrier in the world according to the video I linked below. The corps is not well liked in Louisiana. 50% of the things they have done turn...

Generators.

Mandella effect.

The good news is act 1 got easier this league. Oh wait it didn't, it got harder. Seemed odd to frontload the changes to the first thing a new player hits instead of toward the end.

Reddit keeps talking about the "vision" seen how that went in a game before.

My small oil company service ETF for pipelines and drilling is gree today, that's it.

Been a LOT more entertaining to watch if they took out Chris's knee and watched him roll around while say "Damn that hurt didn't it?"

I only look at reddit every few months, maybe right before a league. The Chris "walked on water" is still pretty large over there. In a ways it's almost bipolar.

Queue up the riots in 3, 2, 1....

Nothing last forever, or we'd still be playing Asteroids on an Atari 2600.

Looked the other day and question was what question would you ask Chris? Answered none. Actions speek louder than words or manifestos. Didn't matter what his answer would have been. The Chris huggers didn't care for it lol.

That's my dad and to a lesser degree me. Before he got started in steel he did laminated beam detailing. Every so often like 3-4 times a year someone calls and wants one done. He did some laminated wood columns for a waterpark slide tower. I did the other half which was done in steel. It's just...

If slash pine which is very common in FL you're better off letting it rot and it likely will happen first before it burns. Pine in the southeast is quick to rot when not standing. Now if you had longleaf (you 99.9% most likley don't) that you'd have something. It used to be tapped for...

Imagine if neversink took a league off and didn't announce it till the day before. Oh the huge manatee people would flip out.

Tech not used rapidly disappears. Read a few years ago the US has now rapidly lost nuclear tech to build new plants like they were often in the 70's. Same for certain nuclear weapons. I see it in pretty simple shit in refineries and chemical plants. Nobody knows what to do and how the safety...

I mowed 40 acres on a Ford 9N up until the late 90's that was built in the first years of WWII. Not fancy but cranked and mowed just fine, just no A/C. That and discing. Eventually the camshaft broke in half. Then I replaced it with a Ford 650 that was built in the 50's. It's still going strong...

People buy supporter packs before anything is known about a league or how bad it's going to suck. Why change and why make a different game, that requires work.

Tencent may start caring if the CCP starts having more members talk about the evils and dangers of online gaming that caused tencent to take a pretty big hit in stock price.
